Official pics of the new Rolls-Royce drophead (that's convertible, yank) hit the webs last night, bringing full circle the narrative thread started with the 100EX concept in 2004. The newest of swank ragtops, which shares its mechanicals with the Phantom, will enjoy its deb ball at the Detroit show next month, ahead of its appearance in 4,200 hip-hop videos by 2009, followed by unflattering shots of its underpinnings hitting a gossip blog late in 2010.
